Re: Varsity Blues
I'm not clicking that, but does it mention selling drugs to an undercover police officer?

Yes.

Re: Varsity Blues
Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Guiannulli have reached a plea deal with the Feds. She will plead guilty to Conspiracy to Commit Wire and Mail Fraud and serve 2 months, pay a $150,000 fine and do 100 hours community service. He will plead guilty to 2 counts of fraud and serve 5 months, pay $250,000, and do 250 community service hours. They are expected to enter their pleads tomorrow and formally be sentenced in about 90 days.

If they had just had their daughter take a gap year or two, she wouldn't have had to take that racist SAT/ ACT, and might have gotten in.Biff Pocoroba wrote:Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Guiannulli have reached a plea deal with the Feds.

Re: Varsity Blues
I still don't understand why anyone gives a shit about this, unless they are naive enough to believe college admissions are about academic ability

I believe there’s something in your constitution precisely against a punishment as grotesque as that.Bammer wrote:Aunt Becky can come and service my community any time she wants

Re: Varsity Blues
Lori Loughlin sentenced to two months; her husband five months.
At one point I though they would have gotten more but that sounds about right.
We'll see how much time they actually serve though.

Re: Varsity Blues
or she could have applied to schools that were already test optional. It's not a new concept. Neither is cheating to get ahead.simple schoolboy wrote:https://twitter.com/razibkhan/status/13 ... 2263450628simple schoolboy wrote:If they had just had their daughter take a gap year or two, she wouldn't have had to take that racist SAT/ ACT, and might have gotten in.Biff Pocoroba wrote:Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Guiannulli have reached a plea deal with the Feds.

That link offered quotes that were misleading and contradicted themselves. No testing requirements drives up applications... from everyone. Which would cause a "dip" relative to a bigger pool, but it also added the caveat "prior to January deadlines."
Early Decision & Early Action are an affluent oriented process. In most cases a student would have to have their shit together and less affluent communities have a hard time making that happen for their students in October & November. Especially this year.
Later on it quoted Cornell vice provost who, "said applications rose from first-generation, low-income, rural, Black and Hispanic groups." Maryland U. gave a similar quote.
The tests and how one performs on them are biased.
Not requiring them on the application means more applications. It's a tactic many schools have been using to boost applications and appear more selective for quite a while.
